Little Pains

LITTLE PAINS At point of striding forth A red slash! From nowhere Unprepared by dissolution What wasn’t is suddenly thrust in from nowhere Think addition What wasn’t now added to the pixie brotherhood Yet knowing their traveling propensities Their being before long elsewhere gone One strides on Just little pains Little old gooses Little pains urging awareness Dave Austin

Those little pains seem to become more conspicuous as we get older. They appear out of nowhere and even take us experienced travelers unawares. ~ Al the best, my friend. // paul

Walking to the supermart, hanging on to the shopping cart - my balance is awful - feeling good about myself, this sudden sharp pain, saying, "So you think you can avoid me, well, take that you old fart!" Thanks, Paul. Love, daver

I'm strolling toward the supermart, hanging onto my shopping cart, feeling safe and comfortable, when it says, "Take this old fart!" Thanks, dear. Love, daver
